    Just trying to work out my feelings toward this! Just trying to work out my feelings toward this!

Initially insulted that Aldi feel that such a comprehensive piece of equipment can be done justice at this level of manufacturing. Not to even head down the road of discussing the safety aspects involved! 

Dismay that they think it’s possible for consumers to be able to ‘coach’ theirselves at a level that creates sustainable and lasting benefits that will keep them using this for more than 5 minutes.

And then I realised, that’s it!! 

People - Aldi are taking advantage of your ‘quick fix’  dopamine hits!!! 

Don’t be duped by them or line their pockets!!

You CAN NOT ‘effectively’ teach your self Reformer.
But you can get a ‘quick fix’ injure yourself either because you have no idea what you’re doing or the equipment is so poorly manufactured as you’re banging your body weight against it again and again.

I’ve been qualified for 4 years and I’m still learning and going on courses. And that’s after 13 years of teaching Pilates.

Don’t be fooled by quick fix cheap crap… it’s just there to fill a 5 minute consumer phase and line the pockets of @aldiuk  without your well being in mind.

THIS IS NOT REFORMER PILATES 😘

    Just the best weekend away with my beautiful Pilat Just the best weekend away with my beautiful Pilates  Mummy! ❤️ in beautiful Budapest ❤️

We had an adventure!

Stunning architecture, beautiful bridges, a city full of intimacy. 

Walked every where (38 miles to be precise!) soaked in the sights, soaked in some cocktails, visited the spas and a very cool Ruins bar! 

My Mum lifts weights on a regular basis, she has osteoporosis, attends my classes weekly, attends my osteoporosis workshop monthly and does her daily homework…. I had a job to keep up with her 🤣 

There she was in the airport lifting my 18kg case off whilst I was hunting for the trolley. 

Literally no stopping her!! Now I know where I get it from 🤣❤️😍

    Of all the countries I’ve travelled to, England Of all the countries I’ve travelled to, England has the best sunsets! Well, maybe Ibiza will rival it 🤣

In our beautiful venue in Benson, we get to watch it and feel its energy as we move. Or maybe it’s a great distraction from thigh stretch! 

No more lights on until October!

    There seems to be a queue for @sissel.internationa There seems to be a queue for @sissel.international spinefitter this morning! 

This has to be my favourite piece of Pilates equipment right now! 

Morris likes it too! 

Every morning, 5-10 minutes of arm work has made a big difference to my bike riding over active rhomboids.

Post ride it’s amazing for offsetting hours of being flexed in the spine and fixed in the ribs.

I loved hosting the spine fitter class for my clients last week, it’s a whole body release! 

If you have one and don’t know what to do with it, let me know as I have an online class I can share with you. 

It’s a shame I can’t fit it into my bike luggage for out 2 day tour of the Cotswolds!

Venice is such a beautiful city, full of exploration, unique, huge fun, weathered and of course its faired its battles with many stories to share.

Feels like us 🤣 although thankfully our battles aren’t between us! Just what life challenges you with. 

Happy 20 years @mileswillett69 what an amazing life adventure we share together ❤️

    ⭐️ SNEAK PEAK ⭐️ Here is a little sneak p ⭐️ SNEAK PEAK ⭐️

Here is a little sneak peak of the warm up phase of my online Friday morning Hypopressives classes … taken by one of my lovely clients 🤍 actually she’s a bit more than a lovely client! Karen from @northantspilates was (and will always be!) my mentor when I first started out as a Pilates student 12 years ago! It’s a honour to have so many fabulous teachers joining me for these classes! 

During this phase we are creating and essential awareness of posture. 

How we stand has a profound impact on the tensions being pulled into the pelvic floor. If you wear inflexible shoes or roll your feet in and out, your pelvic floor will be under tension and won’t be able to get stronger.

If this sounds of interest to you then do drop me a message to find out more, or you can book straight on via the link in my bio. Claire x

    HYPOPRESSIVES! But what are they!? If you’re HYPOPRESSIVES!

But what are they!? 

If you’re unsure if it could be for you then here are some of the things my current clients have to say about it. 

Talking about your pelvic floor, prolapses and Diastasis Recti can sometimes feel embarrassing and awkward, but I aim to make this the opposite of a taboo subject. I pride myself on empowering you to take control of your body amongst some other incredible women (and men!) 

DM me to find out how easily we can get you started on your pelvic floor restore journey! 

In the meantime enjoy this little video that the amazingly talented Henry from @hs.productions_ put together for us! 

DM with any questions-for Henry too!

    Not once did I doubt if I was doing the wrong thin Not once did I doubt if I was doing the wrong thing by walking out of a well paid and secure job and setting up a Pilates business full time having run it for 2 years as an ‘evening job’. After driving for 5 hours and having meetings all day! 

10 years on, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined where I’d be now and feeling super proud and full of gratitude to everyone who’s a part of it. 

I have the honour of being a part of so many peoples wellness journeys, some are very traumatic and some are full of unbelievable achievements. All of them teach me something. The inspiration and joy I get from being around so many different personalities and their life stories  could never ever be imagined within the corporate world.

I have 3 amazing teachers running classes for me @pilatesmegan39 @rebeccamorrispilates @kathrynbelcherhealth amongst other incredible ‘Pilates girlfriends 🤣’ We operate across 3 villages as well as running Reformer and studio sessions from home for 121 clients. 

And 2 very busy and very fulfilling wellness businesses with the @menopause_couch  too.

Life’s journey and adventures lead me down a path of continuing education that I’m able to share with everyone in a fun and healing way as possible.

A proud and profound day! 

If id not made that choice, life would be SO different.

    💕Oh my goodness it’s been such a busy and rew 💕Oh my goodness it’s been such a busy and rewarding start to the year!!💕

💃First off the amazing @caroline_kinash_physio and I ran our unique and brilliantly received Pelvic Floor and More on line work shop.  Liberating the taboos around Pelvic Floor Health with many actionable points that our attendees could get stuck into to gain fast results.

🫁 Followed by my Saturday workshop launching a brand new class for the Hypopressives method. This method is already helping so many women (and men) with pelvic floor disorders, including Diastasis  Recti. It’s a privilidge to be able to practise and teach it to so many people who’ve suffered for years with incontinence, prolapses, back pain due to DR and scoliosis. 

💨Most of these fabulous attendees are now joining  me weekly for my new on line class for Hypopressives.

Fridays 7.30am Live from your living room 

Or watch back On Demand - lots of helps and tips available in the On demand section and on my channel in You Tube.

Not sure what it’s all about? DM me and I’ll send you a video!

    It was time to take myself off on a Retreat. Infac It was time to take myself off on a Retreat. Infact, way over due ❤️‍🩹

So I took myself and a very good Pilates and women’s health coach (me 🤣) off to the Black Mountains for 3 days of medicinal hiking in the elements. All of the elements and I freaking LOVED it! 

My little cabin was off grid, a little cold but I loved every moment of it.

This will now be a regular fixture! 

Go on, treat yourselves, you know you want to!

    Well, New Year wasn’t the usual skiing or being Well, New Year wasn’t the usual skiing or being in my happy place in the mountains but it was historical and lovely in many ways! 

The beautiful town of Canterbury! 

Punctuated with a quick trip to Ipswich to visit Mum in Law and watch an unbelievable game of football where Ipswich (bottom of the table) beat the mighty Chelsea! 

Then dragging my poor husband round 6 bars and sneaking into a party for New Year’s Eve! 🤣
